Pro-Luigi Mangione vandals defaced the exterior of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s former Upper East Side mansion this week with the three words the accused United Healthcare CEO murderer scratched on to the bullets he used to kill his target: “Deny, defend, depose.”

Red spray paint was used to deface the East 71st Street home’s gilded façade with the phrases “Free Luigi” and “They Fear The People.”

Across the front door, the goons scribbled the three words now synonymous with Mangione’s name: “Deny, defend, depose.”

The graffiti did not last long.

By noon on Friday, workers were on site scrubbing the building clean.

After Epstein’s 2019 arrest for sex trafficking and ensuing jail suicide, the lavish home where he once preyed on underage women and entertained some of the world’s most powerful people languished on the market with an $88 million price tag.

It was finally snatched up in the spring of 2021 by former Goldman Sachs executive Michael Daffey, who shelled out $51 million — a steal for one of the largest homes in Manhattan.

The home has become something of a dark tourist attraction.

The home’s new owners have dealt with vandals before.

Neighbors previously told The Post people have smeared animal blood and excrement across the façade.
